							Networking the printer
For complete networking information, please refer to the Getting Started booklet that came with the product.
Installing the printer on a network
Follow the instructions for the networking method you want to use. Make sure the selected network is set up and
working properly, and that all relevant devices are turned on. For more information on your specific network, see
your network documentation or consult the person who set up the network.
Installing an internal wireless print server
The printer you purchased may contain an internal wireless print server that allows the printer to be used on a wireless
network. If your printer does not have an internal wireless print server already installed, you can purchase one
separately. Use the following instructions to install the internal wireless print server:
1Turn off your printer, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Warning: Failure to unplug the printer can cause damage to your printer and to the internal wireless print server.
Make sure the printer is turned off and the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before you proceed.
2Remove the back cover plate by pushing the tab down and then pulling the cover away from the printer.
3Unpack the internal wireless print server. Save the packaging materials.
Warning: Wireless print servers are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch something metal such as the
printer frame before you touch the wireless print server.

							4Align the edges of the internal wireless print server with the guides on the left and right, and then slide the wireless
print server into the printer until it snaps into place.
5Make sure the antenna points up.
6Attach the adhesive label with the MAC address to the back of the printer. You will need this later to in order to
network the printer.
You are now ready to configure the internal wireless print server to work on your wireless network.
Finding your MAC address
In order to complete the network configuration of your printer, you may need the media access control (MAC) address
of the printer or print server. The MAC address is a series of letters and numbers located on the back of your printer.
If you purchased the internal wireless print server separately, the MAC address appears on an adhesive label that
came with the wireless print server. Attach the adhesive label to your printer so you will be able to find the MAC
address when you need it.
